Wait For Me (Johnny Concho’s Theme)

JOHNNY CONCHO THEME (WAIT FOR ME)
Musik & Text: Nelson Riddle & Dok Stanford (1956)

Wait for me, my love.,
my restless heart must roam,
wait for me, my love
and I'll be coming home.

But now I can't change,
something strange
lures me on:
My love, can't you see
I'm not free
till it's gone.

Wait for me, my love,
for I am young in dreams,
and my heart must chase
those ripples on the stream.

So keep faith in your heart,
keep your love ever true,
for if you felt like me,
I'd wait for you.

Wait Till You See Her

Wait till you see her, see how she looks, wait till you hear her laugh,
Painters of painting, drivers of gloom never could tell the height,
Wait till you feel the warmth of her glance, pensive and sweet and wise,
All of it lovely, all of it thrilling, I'll never be willing to free her,
When you see her, you won't believe your eyes.

Walk Away

Walk away, please go before you throw your life away,
A life I could share for just a day.
We could have met some years ago. For your sake I'll say,
Walk away, just go, walk away and live a life that's full with no regret.
Don't look back to me, just try to forget.
Why build a dream that cannot come true, so be strong,
Reach the stars now, walk away, walk on.
If I heard your voice, I'll beg you to stay,
So don't say a word, just run away.
Goodbye, my love, my tears will fall now that you're gone,
I can't help but cry but I must go on.
I'm sad that after searching so long,
Knew I love you but told you, walk away, walk on.

Walkin’ In The Sunshine

After the rain goes,
people see rainbows,
but I see rainbows when it storms above,
so, darling, is it any wonder?
I can laugh at thunder,
walking in the sunshine of your love.

Ten below zero:
I'm such a hero!
I never wear a muffler or a glove.
While all the world has frosty noses,
I'm knee-deep in roses,
walking in the sunshine of your love.

Just so you know, dear, I'm gonna tell you:
Your smile's my golden umbrella,
keepin‘ the rain-out,
trouble and pain out of my heart.

And from the very start your tender affection
in my direction
was like a lovely blessing from above.
That's why I go around just beaming,
wond'ring if I'm dreaming,
walking in the sunshine of your love.

Wandering

Sometimes I think that I'm on the right track,
But I keep coming back to the same place,
The same place where I sought it.
Sometimes you'll think there's a smile on my face,
But it can't take the place of a free-heart, a me-heart that I've read of.
I can hear mem'ries singing through night and through day,
What good are mem'ries, they just seem to get in the way.
They get in the way.
When it's November, I'll think of July,
Where the sunshine will fly through a warm sky,
A warm sky where I'll wander.
When it's November, I'll think of July,
Where the sunshine will fly through a warm sky,
A warm sky where I'll wander.

Watch What Happens

Let someone start believing in you, let him hold out his hand
Let him touch you and watch what happens
One someone who can look in your eyes, and see into your heart
Let him find you and watch what happens
Cold, no I won't believe your heart is cold
Maybe just afraid to be broken again
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you, and what magic you'll see
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you. and what magic you'll see
Let someone give his heart, someone who cares like me
Let someone give his heart who cares like me

Watertown

Old Watertown
Nothing much happenin'
Down on Main
'Cept a little rain
Old Watertown
Everyone knows
The perfect crime
Killin' time
And no one's goin' anywhere
Livin's much too easy there
It can never be a lonely place
When there's the shelter of familiar faces
Who can say
It's not that way
Old Watertown
So much excitement
To be found
Hangin' round
There's someone standing in the rain
Waiting for the morning train
It's gonna be a lonely place
Without the look of familiar faces
But who can say
It's not that way

Wave

WAVE
Musik und Text von Antonio Carlos Jobim (1967)

So close your eyes,
for thats a lovely way to be,
aware of things
your heart alone
was meant to see.
The fundamental loneliness goes
whenever two can dream a dream together.

You can't deny,
don't try to fight the rising sea,
don't fight the moon,
the stars above,
and don't fight me.
The fundamental loneliness goes
whenever two can dream a dream together.

When I saw you first,
the time was half past three.
When your eyes met mine,
it was eternity.

By now we know
the wave is on its way to be,
just catch that wave,
don't be afraid
of loving me.
The fundamental loneliness goes
whenever two can dream a dream together.

We Just Couldn’t Say Goodbye

We thought that love was over, that we were really through,
I said I didn't love her, that we'd begin anew,
And you can all believe me, we sure intended to,
But we just couldn't say goodbye.
The chair and then the sofa, they broke right down and cried,
The curtain started waving for me to come inside.
I tell you confident'a'lly the tears were hard to hide,
And we just couldn't say goodbye.
The clock was striking twelve o'clock, it smiled on us below,
With folded hands, it seemed to say, we'll miss you if you go.
So I went back and kissed her and when I looked around,
The room was singing love songs and dancing up and down.
Now we're both so happy because at last we've found
That we just couldn't say goodbye.
The clock was striking twelve o'clock, it smiled on us below,
With folded hands, it seemed to say, we're gonna miss you if you go.
So I went back and kissed her and when I looked around,
The room was singing love songs and was dancing up and down.
Now we're both so happy because at last we've found
That we just couldn't say goodbye.

We Kiss In The Shadow

WE KISS IN A SHADOW
Musik von Richard Rodgers, Text von Oscar Hammerstein II (1951)

We kiss in a shadow,
we hide from the moon,
our meetings are few
and over too soon.

We speak in a whisper,
afraid to be heard,
when people are near,
we speak not a word.

Alone in our secret,
together we cry
for one smiling day
to be free.

To kiss in the sunlight,
and say to the sky:
Behold and believe
what you see,
behold how my lover
loves me!

We Open In Venice

A troupe of strolling players are we, not stars like L. B. Mayer's are we,
But just a simple band who roams about the land,
Dispensing plentyof frivolity.
Mere folks who give distraction are we, yes, and give attraction are we, oh shut up, man
But just a crazy group, that never seeks to sosoup,
Around a pack of little on a leash.
Well,. here we go, back to the home country again.
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of laughs in Cremona, eh boys, our next jump in Parma, that dopy mopie menace,
And Mantua and Padua, and then we open again. where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of bars in Cremona, our next jump is Parma, that tearless fearless menace,
And Mantua, and Padua, then we open again. Where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of money in Cremona, our next jump in Parma, that's ingie pingie menace,
Then Mantua, then Padua, and then we open again, where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of players in Cremona, our next jump in Parma, that heartless artless menace,
Then Mantua, then Padua, the we open again. Where?
Oh, let me see now, I got a map, let's pick out someplace.
Well just don't dicado back on the line now, oh let's take the first canyon out of here.
As a matter fact if we hurry we can beat the sack, for the chef's out there waiting for us.
Goodbye boys, gida, gida, gida.

We Three

We three, we're all alone, living in a memory --
My echo, my shadow and me.
We three, we're not a crowd, we're not even company --
My echo, my shadow, and me.
What good is the moonlight, the silvery moonlight
That shines above.
I walk with my shadow, I talk with my echo,
But where is the one I love?
We three, we'll wait for you, even till eternity -
My echo, my shadow and me.

We Wish You The Merriest

We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest, the merriest to you
We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest, yes the merriest,
We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest Yule cheer,
We wish you the happiest, the happiest, the happiest, yes the happiest,
We wish you the happiest, the happiest, the happiest New Year.
May your tree be filled with happiness, happiness and friendliness for all
May your heart be filled with cheerfulness,
With happiness and cheerfulness and friendliness for all.
We wish you the happiest, the happiest, the happiest, yes the happiest,
We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest Yule cheer,
And the happiest New Year.
The happiest and the friendliest, and the merriest, the cheerfullest,
And the happiest New Year.

Weep They Will

Weep they will - will the lads down the street
When they find (that) you're promised to me
Weep they will - as their hearts lose a beat
At the thought you'll no longer be free
Oh smug, am I - warm and snug, am I
When you're close in my arms - just like this
It's so easy to see - they're jealous of me
There's so much love - they will miss
Weep they will - at the sound of the news
That we're seen all over the town
Eyes will fill - but they still will refuse
To believe that you've turned them all down
I don't blame them - I don't blame them
They've lost a sweet victory
And (Oh) weep they will - oh weep they will
When they find (that) you're promised to me

Well Did You Evah?

Have you heard? The coast of Maine just got caught in a hurricane?
Well did you evah? What a swell party this is!
Have you heard that poor dear Blanche got run down by an avalanche?
Well, did you evah? What a swell party this is!
What daiquiris! What sherry, please! What burgundy! What pommery!
Have you heard? Professor Munch ate his wife and divorced his lunch?
Well, did you evah? What a swell party this is!
Missus Smith in her new Hup crossed the bridge when the bridge was up,
Well, did you evah? What a swell part this is!
What brandy, wow! What whiskey, here's how!
What gin and what beer, will you sober up, dear?

We’ll Be Together Again

No tears, no fears
Remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part
We'll be together again
Your kiss, your smile
Are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart
We'll be together again
Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad
Someday, someway
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not good-bye
We'll be together again

We'll Gather Lilacs in the Spring

We'll gather lilacs in the spring again,
And walk together down an endless lane,
Until our hearts have learned to sing again,
When you come home once more.
And in the evening by the firelight glow,
You'll hold me close and never let me go,
Your eyes will tell me all I want to know,
When you come home once more.
(musical interlude)
And in the evening by the firelight glow,
You'll hold me close and never let me go,
Your eyes will tell me all I want to know,
When you come home once more.

We’ll Meet Again

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
Bit I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
Keep smiling through just like you always do,
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.
So will you please say hello to the folks that I know, tell them I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go, I was singing this song.
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.

What A Funny Girl (You Used To Be)

You always looked a little out of place
All grown up with freckles on your face
We'd spend each night with company
Just you, the teddy bear, the dolls and me
What a funny girl you used to be
You always had a thousand things to do
Getting all involved with something new
Always some new recipe the kitchen
Always looked like World War Three
What a funny girl you used to be
It was so good with you around
You always found a smile
Where smiles could not be found
I never ever met a person more sincere
You'd always listen with an open ear
You'd fall for lines so easily
Whatever they were selling you'd buy three
What a funny girl you used to be
What a funny girl you used to be...

What Are You Doing The Rest Of You Life?

I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you

What Do I Care For A Dame?

What do I care for a dame?
What do I care for a dame?
Every old dame is the same,
Every hooky dame is the same.
I got a future, a rosy future,
You can be sure I'll be tough
I'm independent, I'm no dependent
And I'll own a nightclub that's tops.
I'll be in with the cops.
What do I care for the skirts?
What do I care for the skirts/
I'll make a face till it hurts.
Let them put up till it hurts,
I'm going to own a night club,
It's gonna be the right club,
It'll be swell gentry, It's elementary,
I'll wear a top hat and cane.
There ain't Joey, there ain't Joey,
There ain''t Joey, I can see it plain..

What Is This Thing Called Love?

I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in thorugh my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lawd in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?
You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?

What Makes The Sunset?

What makes the sun set?
What makes the moon rise?
What makes the tide
remember to hide,
and why does it soon rise?

What makes a star fall?
Where does it fall to?
Why does its flight
make us stop in the night,
and wish as we all do?

And what holds a cloud together?
What makes the sky so blue?

What makes the sun set?
What makes the moon rise?
Is it my love for you?

What Now My Love?

What now, my love?
Now that you've left me,
how can I live through another day,
watching my dreams
turn to ashes,
and my hopes turn to bits of clay.

Once I could see,
once I could feel,
now I am numb, I've become unreal.
I walk the night
without a goal,
stripped of my heart and my soul.

What now, my love?
Now that it's over,
I feel the world falling all around me.
Here come the stars,
tumbling around me,
there's the sky, where that sea should be!

What now, my love?
Now that you're gone,
I'd be a fool to go on and on.
No one would care,
no one would cry,
if I should live or die.

What now, my love?
Now there is nothing,
only my last, my last good-bye.

What Time Does The Nest Miracle Leave?

My name is Francis Albert (Francis Albert Sinatra)
And I sing love songs mostly after dark, mostly in salons.
I've had some very good years.
I haven't missed a whole lot in those firecracker years,
And I don't want to miss a thing when the future appears.
I like to sit outside on a summer night with a drink in my hand.
And a little moonlit music on the stereo, and look at the stars.
Then I get an urge to travel to that fabulous sky,
If they can do it in the movies, why can't I?
"Seats are now available on the Satellite Special",
"leaving for Mercury and Venus, Pluto, Saturn, Neptune."
What time is the next miracle, I want to be on board,
Save me a seat by the window where I can see
All those marvelous things to be seen out there.
(The things to be seen out there, all there)
What time does the next miracle leave?
Let's get this show on the road,
And when the Satellite Tours begin,
Count me in, <count me in , count me in>
<count me in, count me in , count me in>
<count me in, count me in , count me in>
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."
(musical interlude)
When I arrive at Venus, it will surely be spring,
And the girl I have waited for, will be waiting for me,
And she'll dance with me all the afternoon,
Comfort me when the darkness falls,
And she'll still be there in the morning when I need her the most.
Maybe when I get to Venus, I will never be lonely again.
"The Satellite Special leaving for Jupiter, Saturn,"
"Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn," (Jupiter, Saturn)
Jupiter makes with the rain, Saturn makes with the crop,
A nicer trade was never made, and hopefully never stops.
If Saturn's fields are dry, Jupiter won't stay fat,
So Jupiter leaves its fortunes on and <bets its ass>
"Next stop, Pluto where the devils dwell, hahahahahahaha"
Pluto is a rotten place an evil place they got in space,
It's Hades (it's Hades) filled with rats for self-defense,
A sordid flock of CrŠme Nomen.
And ladies (ladies? Ladies, ladies, ladies)
It's pure hell when your journey ends there,
But you can bet your ass I'll lead a lot of friends there,
(We're getting R A )
"Next stop, Mercury, Mercury, Neptune"
Mercury will lead us out to Neptune and her deep blue sea.
(musical interlude)
(And then) And then to Uranus (Uranus)
Uranus is heaven,
(Heaven, heaven, oh you know indeed, is it really heaven?)
How will I know? I will know, if they need me at the station,
With some cheese and some Mayo pizza,
Well done (well done), and a little red wine.
"The Satellite Special now leaving non-stop for earth, non-stop for earth"
(Move along, move along, it's time we were getting on board.)
Please let me off at the desert, where I can see
All those wonderful things to be seen down there.
(to be seen down there, all there)

Whatever Happened To Christmas?

Whatever happened to Christmas? It's gone and left no traces,
Whatever happened to the faces or the glow,
Whatever happened to Christmas, to Christmas way of living?
Whatever happened to the giving, the magic in the snow?
Remember the sight and the smell and the sound,
And remember hearing the call,
Remember how love was all around, whatever happened to it all?
Whatever happened to Christmas, bells in the streets were ringing,
Whatever happened to the singing, the songs we used to know.
Whatever happened to this Christmas, and when did it disappeared from view,
Where was I, and whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to Christmas and you?

What’ll I Do?

What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do
What'll I do
When I am wondering who
Is kissing you
What'll I do
What'll I do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do

What’s New?

What's new?
How is the world treating you?
You haven't changed a bit
Lovely as ever, I must admit
What's new?
How did that romance come through?
We haven't met since then
Gee, but it's nice to see you again
What's new?
Probably I'm boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand
I understand. Adieu!
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed, I still love you so

What’s Now Is Now

WHAT’S NOW IS NOW
Musik von Bob Gaudio, Text von Jake Holmes (1969)

You should have told me when it all began,
you should have told me long ago,
someday, I know, you're gonna find
just one mistake is not enough to change my mind!

What's now is now,
and I'll forget what happened then.
I know it all,
and we can still begin again!

And if the doubting faces made you go:
It's only mine that matters now!
Those looks will soon begin to fade,
if you come back and show them all you're not afraid!

What's now is now,
and I'll forget what happened then,
I know it all,
and we can still begin again.

Now that you know how much I understand,
you have no reason to be gone,
and if you feel at all like me,
just let me know, I'll make it like it used to be.

What's now is now,
and I'll forget what happened then.
I know it all
and we can still begin again.

When I Lost You

I lost the sunshine and roses,
I lost the heavens of blue,
I lost the beautiful rainbow,
I lost the morning dew.

I lost the angel who gave me
summer the whole winter through.

I lost the gladness
that turned into sadness,
when I lost you.

When I Stop Loving You

When I stop loving you the way I do, there'll be no moon to shine, no sky of blue,
When our two lips no longer cling, there'll be no bird to sing, there'll be no spring.
When I stop wanting you, forever more, there'll be no ocean wave to kiss the shore.
This world will crumble, and the skies will fall, my heart won't speak at all,
When I stop loving you.

When I Take My Sugar To Tea

When I take my sugar to tea, all the boys are jealous of me,
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
I'm a rowdy dowdy, that's me, she's a high hat baby, that's she,
So I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
Every Sunday afternoon, we forget about our cares,
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz, with those millionaires.
When I take my sugar to tea, I'm as ritzy as I can be,
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
(musical interlude)
Every Sunday afternoon, we forget about those cares,
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz, with those zillionaires.
When I take my sugar to tea, I'm as ritzy as I can be,
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take, take my sugar to tea.

When I’m Not Near The Girl I Love

Oh my heart is beating wildly and it's all because you're here.
When I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near.
Every femme that flutters by me is a flame that must be fanned,
When I can't fondle the hand I'm fond of, I fondle the hand at hand
My heart's in a pickle, it's constantly fickle and not too partic'lar I fear,
When I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near.
I'm confessing a confession and I hope I'm not verbose when I am not close
To the kiss I cling to, I cling to the kiss that's close.
As I'm more and more a mortal, I am more and more a case
When I'm not facing the face I fancy, I fancy the face I face.
For Sharon I'm caring but Susan I'm choosing, I'm faithful to those whos'n is here.
When I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near.

When Is Sometime?

When is sometime, how many days until sometime,
For my dreams make it clear that my lover is near,
And she ought to be here about sometime.
Who is someone, who is this wonderful someone,
Oh I'm keeping my heart strings in tune, and hoping that sometime is soon.

When No One Cares

When no one cares
And the phone never rings
The nights are endless things
You‘re like a child that cries
And no one hears the crying
You‘re like a falling star that dies
And seems to go on dying
When no one cares
You just count so many years
And they glisten
With each tear
You can‘t believe that a love like hers
Could come from someone new
When no one cares
But you

When Somebody Loves You

When somebody loves you, you feel it in your heart
When somebody loves you, you know it from the start
Every kiss becomes more than a kiss
Each look, each touch they mean so much
And that's when you discover how it feels to be a lover

When somebody loves you, it shows in every smile
When somebody loves you, your life becomes worthwhile
Always caring, always sharing everything you do
When somebody loves you like I love you

(When somebody loves you, it shows in every smile)
(When somebody loves you, your life becomes worthwhile)
Always caring, always sharing everything you do
When somebody loves you like I love you

When The Sun Goes Down

I'm feeling low, mighty low, I wonder why,
I wonder why, why am I such a lonely guy?
A man's a fool to be alone when the sun goes down,
You need a woman of your own, when the sun goes down.
If there's a gal in your arms, one you can love,
Someone who loves only you, then you'll never ever roam,
When the sun goes down, you'll always want to hurry home,
When the sun goes down.
<musical interlude>
(A man's a fool to be alone when the sun goes down,)
(You need a woman of your own, when the sun goes down.)
[If there's a gal in your arms, one you can love,]
[Someone who loves only you,] then you'll never ever roam,
When the sun goes down,
[You'll always want to hurry home,]
[When the sun goes down.]
I got my home, I got my horse and he's my pal,
But what's it mean, all of it means without a gal.
I got my horse, he's my pal and I got no gal.

When The Wind Was Green

When the wind was green
At the start of the spring
When the wind was green
Like a living thing
It was on my lips
And it's kiss was fair
You were there
When the wind was red
Like a summer wine
When the wind was red
Like your lips on mine
It caressed my fate
And it tossed my hair
You were there
Then came the fall and all of love
Came tumbling, stumbling down
Like leaves that lost to frost and found
They were flying-crying
In a brown wind dying
But the winter's come and we both should know
That the wind is white like the swirling snow
And we'll never see all the wonderful things to be seen
When the wind is green

When The World Was Young

It isn't by chance I happen to be a boulevardier, the toast of Paree,
For over the noise, the talk and the smoke, I'm good for a laugh, a drink or a joke,
I walk in a room, a party of all, come sit over here, somebody will call
A drink for monsieur, a drink for us all, but how many times, I sat and recall.
Are the apple trees, blossoms in the breeze that we walk among,
Lying in the hay, games we used to play, while the rounds were sung,
Only yesterday when the world was young.
Wherever I go they mention my name, and that in itself is some sort of fame,
Come by for a drink, we're having a game, wherever I go, I'm glad that I came.
The talk is quite gay, the company's fine,
There's laughter and lights and glamour and wine.
And beautiful girls and summer's been mine, but often my eyes see a different shine.
Are the apple trees, sunlit memories, where the hammock swung,
On our backs sweet lie, looking at the sky, till the stars were strung
Only last July when the world was young.

When You Awake

When you awake, the day takes a bow at your door,
When you awake, the sun shines like never before,
Cloud soaked with rain find it hard to explain to the earth below,
They can't let it rain for then it would stain a heavenly show, you make it so,
When you awake, you open the eyes of my heart,
When you awake, my day really gets its great start,
All the winds and the birds join the simple refrain of a rippling stream,
My world becomes a midsummer night's dream, when you awake.

When Your Lover Has Gone

What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

When You’re Smiling (The Hole World Smiles with Yo

WHEN YOU’RE SMILING (THE WHOLE WORLD SMILES WITH YOU)
Musik von Mark Fisher & Larry Shay, Text von Joe Goodwin (1928)
(Text/Refrain wie von Sinatra gesungen)

When you're smiling,
when you're smiling,
the whole world smiles with you.

When you're laughing,
when you're laughing,
the sun comes shining through.

But when you're crying,
you bring on the rain,
so stop your sighing,
be happy again!

(So) Keep on smiling,
for when you're smiling,
the whole world smiles with you!

Where Are You?

Where are you
Where have you gone without me
I thought you cared about me
Where are you
Where's my heart
Where is the dream we started
I can't believe we're parted
Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is my happy ending
Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is that happy ending
Where are you
Where are you

Where Do You Go?

Where do you go
When it starts to rain
Where will you sleep
When the night time comes
What do you do
When your heart's in pain
Where will you run
When the right time comes
These are the things
That I want to know
Where will you hide
When the lights are low
Where do you go
When it starts to rain
Where will you sleep
When the night time comes

Where Do You Keep Your Heart?

I found your lips tonight but where do you keep your heart?
I found your arms just right, but where do you keep your heart?
It's very plain to see I'll never win you,
Unless you long for me deep down within you.
I looked into your eyes, to see if you really care,
You took me to the skies, but where do we go from there?
Oh, it's been such a lovely evening, but darling before we part,
Please tell where you keep your heart.

Where Is The One?

Where is the one
Who'll end the search I'm making
Where is the one
Who'll change my dream to waking
Behind some far off secret door
There's my love
There's my life
In store
The journey's long
Much longer than I reckoned
In any throng
I'll know her in a second
Some lucky day
I'm bound to find her
And when I do
I'll find love
The journey's long
Much longer than I reckoned
In any throng
I'll know her in a second
Some lucky day
I'm bound to find her
And when I do
I'll find love

Where Or When

When you're awake,
the things you think
come from the dreams you dream.

Thought has wings,
and lots of things
are seldom what they seem.

Sometimes you think
you've lived before
all that you live today.

Things you do
come back to you,
as though they knew the way -
Oh, the tricks your mind can play...

It seems we stood and talked like this before,
we looked at each other in the same way then,
but I can't remember where or when

The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore,
the smile you are smiling you were smiling then,
but I can't remember where or when.

Some things that happen for the first time
seem to be happening again.

And so it seems that we have met before,
and laughed before,
and loved before,
but who knows where or when?

While The Angelus Was Ringing

WHILE THE ANGELUS WAS RINGING
Musik von Jean Villiard, französischer Originaltext von Marc Herrand (1945), englischer Text von Dick Manning (1948)

While the Angelus was ringing,
calling for the evening prayer,
I could hear the choir singing,
and I saw you standing there.

Silently I stood beside you,
how my heart was beating then!
For my dreams had all come true,
I was safely back with you,
never more to roam again.

Then the great cathedral spire
seemed to come alive and say,
through the voices of the choir:
„There will be a wedding day“

Then a golden ray of sunlight,
from a window in the sky,
shone upon us from above,
heaven's blessing on our love,
now our love will never die.

THE THREE BELLS (THE SONG OF JIMMY BROWN)
Musik von Jean Villard, französischer Text von Marc Herrand, englische Adaption von Ed Brown (1959)

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born

All the chapel bells were ringing
in the little valley town
And the song that they were singing
was for baby Jimmy Brown

Then the little congregation
prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation,
bless this hour of meditation"
"Guide him with eternal love".

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love.

All the chapel bells were ringing,
'twas a great day in his life
'cause the songs that they were singing
was for Jimmy and his wife.

Then the little congregation
prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation,
bless, oh Lord this celebration"
May their lives be filled with love"

From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and gray
A soul winged its way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away

Just a lonely bell was ringing
in the little valley town
'twas farewell that it was singing
to our little Jimmy Brown

And the little congregation
prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation,
may his soul find the salvation"
"Of thy great eternal love"

Französicher Originaltext
LES TROIS CLOCHES [= Die drei Glocken]
Musik von Jean Villard, Text von Marc Herrand (1945)

Village au fond de la vallée
Comme égaré, presqu'ignoré
Voici qu'en la nuit étoilée
Un nouveau-né nous est donné

Jean-François Nicot qu'il se nomme
Il est joufflu, tendre et rosé
À l'église, beau petit homme,
Demain tu sera baptisé...

Une cloche sonne, sonne
Sa voix d'écho en écho
Dit au monde qui s'étonne:
"C'est pour Jean-François Nicot".

C'est pour accueillir une âme
Une fleur qui s'ouvre au jour
A peine, à peine une flamme
Encore faible qui réclame
Protection, tendresse, amour...

Village au fond de la vallée
Loin des chemins, loin des humains
Voici qu'après dix-neuf années
Coeur en émoi, le Jean-François

Prend pour femme la douce Élise
Blanche comme fleur de pommier
Devant Dieu, dans la vieille église
Ce jour il se sont mariés...

Toutes les cloches sonnent, sonnent
Leurs voix d'écho en écho
Merveilleusement couronnent
La noce à François Nicot

"Un seul coeur, une seule âme",
Dit le prêtre, "et pour toujours
Soyez une pure flamme,
Qui s'élève et qui proclame
La grandeur de votre amour."

Village au fond de la vallée
Des jours, des nuits, le temps a fui
Voici qu'en la nuit étoilée
Un coeur s'endort, François est mort...

Car toute chair est comme l'herbe
Elle est comme la fleur des champs
Épis, fruits mûrs, bouquets et gerbes,
Hélas vont en se desséchant...

Une cloche sonne, sonne
Elle chante dans la mort
Obsédante et monotone
Elle redit aux vivants:

"Ne tremblez pas coeurs fidèles,
Dieu vous fera signe un jour,
Vous trouverez sous son aile,
Avec la Vie Éternelle
L'éternité de l'amour.“.

Whispering

Whispering while you cuddle near me,
Whispering so no one can hear me,
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it's true, there's no one, dear, but you.
Whispering why you'll never leave me,
Whispering why you'll never grieve me,
Whisper and say that you'll believe me
Whispering that I love you.

White Christmas

Eingangsverse (von Sinatra nicht gesungen):

[The sun is shining,
the grass is green,
the orange and palm trees sway:
I've never seen such a day
in Beverly Hills, LA.
But it's December the 24th,
and I am longing to be up North.]

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know,
where the tree tops glisten,
and children (kiddies) listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
with every Christmas card I write:
May your days be merry and bright,
and may all your Christmases be white!

Who Told You I Cared?

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Who wants to be a millionaire? I don't. Have flashy flunkeys everywhere? I don't.
Who wants the bother of a country estate? A country estate is something I'd hate!
Who wants to wallow in champagne? I don't. Who wants a supersonic plane? I don't.
Who wants a marble swimming pool too? I don't. And I don't `cause all I want is you.
Who wants to be a millionaire? I don't. Who wants uranium to spare? I don't.
Who wants to journey on a gigantic yacht? Do I want a yacht? Oh, how I do not!
Who wants a fancy foreign car? I don't. Who wants to tire of caviar? I don't
Who wants a private landing field too? I don't. And I don't `cause all I want is you.

Why Can’t You Behave?

Why can't you behave? Oh, why can't you behave?
After all the things you told me, and those promises that you gave,
Oh, why can't you behave?
Why can't you be good? And do just as you should?
Won't you turn that new leaf over, so your baby can be your slave?
Oh, why can't you behave?
There's a farm I know near my old home town,
Where we two can go and try settling down.
There I'll care for you forever, 'cause you're all in the world I crave.
But baby, why can't you behave?
I said I'll care for you forever, 'cause you're all in the world I crave.
But why, why can't you behave?
Baby, I'm all confused.

Why Remind Me?

(Why remind me) the way we used to talk and laugh,
I don't need any photograph to think of you [think of you],
(Why remind me) the way we danced the whole night long,
I don't need records of our song to sing it through.
I don't need books of matches to remember our caf‚.
What earthly good are matches to a flame of yesterday?
(Why remind me) I know our love has played its part,
I'm only asking of my heart to stop reminding me of you.
(I don't need any matches to remember our caf‚.)
(What earthly good are matches) to a flame of yesterday.
(Why remind me I know our love has played its part,)
(I'm only asking of my heart) to stop reminding me of you,
It just keeps reminding me of you.

Why Should I Cry Over You?

I don't know why I should - cry over you
Sigh over you - even be blue
I should have known - that you'd leave me alone
And break - my heart in two
Although you have left me - alone to pine
And all of my love was - a (big fat) waste of time
Someday your heart will be - broken like mine
So why should I cry over you
(You broke my heart - you took it apart)
(So pack up your baggage and beat it)
(- Why should I cry over you)

Why Shouldn’t I?

Why shouldn't I take a chance when romance passes by,
Why shouldn't I know of love.
Why wait around when each age has a sage who has sung
That upon this earth love is all that is really worth thinking of.
It must be fun, lots of fun, to be sure when day is done,
That the hour is coming when you'd be kissed and then
You'd be kissed again.
All debutantes say it's good, and every star out in far Hollywood,
Seems to give it a try, so why shouldn't I?

Why Shouldn’t It Happen To Us?

Never argue with your heart, it isn't smart, it isn't sound,
Love don't know from season, logic, rhyme or reason,
Love can be found in every port.
Love gets around, in short.

It has happened to a cricket in a thicket,
It has happened on a streetcar and a bus,
There has even been a rumor it has happened to a puma,
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
It has happened to the mamma of a lama,
To a pelican and to an octopus,
Since it happened to the swordfish, it no longer is a "board fish"
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
It's elusive, profusive, nobody has an exclusive
On love, man, beast or dove,
Take the regal old eagle, the porcupine and the beagle,
Yes the kangaroo all pitch woo,
It happened to a tuna at Laguna,
To a girl named Myrtle and a guy named Gus,
Why a lot of sense come to me by the shores of Isagumi,
Why shouldn't it happen to us?

Oh the busy little hornet doesn't scorn it,
To ignore it really is ridiculous,
It's a ritual in Turkey, motanique in Albuquerque,
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
There's no ration on passion, l'amour is always in fashion,
It wings beggars and kings,
Take the cheetah and eeta, the halibut and the mosquito,
Yes, and billy-goats feel their oats,
Oh it thrills the tiny sparrow to its marrow,
And the armadillo deems it super-plus,
Why our ancient barnyard rooster finds it quite a morale booster,
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
I had even heard a reindeer whisper "Please, say that again, dear,"
Why, oh why, shouldn't it happen to us?

Why Try To Change Me Now?

I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain
I've got some habits even I can't explain
Could start for the corner, turn up in Spain
But why try to change me now?
I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor
I'll go away weekends, leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now?
Why can't I be more conventional?
People talk, people stare, so I try
But that's not for me, 'cause I can't see
My kind of crazy world go passing me by
So, let people wonder, let 'em laugh, let 'em frown
You know I'll love you till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember I was always your clown?
Why try to change me now?

Why Was I Born?

Why was I born, why am I livin'?
What do I get, what am I givin'?
Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for?
What can I hope for? I wish I knew
Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I do I cry? You never hear me
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
Some other versions may include an intro:
Spending these lonesome evenings with nothing to do
But to live in dreams that I make up all by myself
Dreaming that you're beside me, I picture the prettiest stories
Only to wake up all by myself What is the good of me by myself?

Willow Weep For Me

Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned
Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide its starry light
So none will see me sighing and crying all alone
Weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me
Oh, Weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me

Winchester Cathedral

Oooh, Winchester Cathedral, you're bringin' me down
You stood and you watched as my baby left town
You coulda done somethin', hey, you didn't try
You didn't do nothin', you just let her walk by
Now everyone knows just how much I needed that girl
She wouldn't have gone far away if only you'd started ringin' your bell
Winchester Cathedral, you're bringin' me down
You stood and you watched as my baby left town
Hey, Winchester Cathedral, you are bringin' me down
You stood and you watched as, you watched her go by, my baby left town
You coulda done somethin', but you didn't even try
You didn't do nothin', you didn't ding-dong, you let her get by
Now everyone knows just how much I needed that girl
She wouldn't have gone far away, if only you'd started ringin' your bell
Now, Winchester Cathedral, man, you've brought me down
You just stood there and watched as my baby left town!

Witchcraft

Those fingers in my hair,
that sly come-hither-stare
that strips my conscience bare:
It's witchcraft.
And I've got no defense for it,
the heat is too intense for it,
what good would common sense for it do?
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft,
and although, I know, it's strictly taboo:
When you arouse the need in me,
my heart says yes indeed in me,
proceed with what your leading me to...
It's such an ancient pitch,
but one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you.

Without A Song

Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never have been
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn, would never see a plow
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A man is born, but he's no good no how
Without a song
I've got my trouble and woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along, as long as a song
Is strung in my soul
I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know, what makes the grass so tall
I only know, there ain't no love at all
Without a song

World War None

Where I live in the desert, it's so peaceful and warm.
And the cares of the world drift by, like clouds reflected in a quiet pool
But there always comes a time, when a man has to think of the future,
(War, war, war!) Has to think of his children, (war, war, war!)
And the world they will live in (war, war, war, war!),
I'm not sure if I can do anything to help them, but I can try, I can try.
Time to build us a fire, seven hundred feet high,
We can fashion a fire (fire) that will reach the sky (reach the sky)
We can feed the flames with the unkind deeds we've done (with the fire),
'Cause we've got to get ready, for World War None.
(What we want is to burn our sins in a sort of furnace,)
(We'll be stoking the fire with the lies we know)
All our false suspicions we can burn them one by one
That will help us get ready for World War None.
(A little love is more effective than a rifle,)
(A little faith will take you farther than it can)
(The rule we follow is the one forever spoken)
(They haven't got the truth on their lips).
Keep on feeding the fire, till the fire is hot,
With those un-neighborly feelings we deny we've got.
Keep on trying for peace, until that peace is won.
Then you're practically ready for World War None.
(A whispered word or touch is louder than a bugle)
(A silent prayer is so much stronger than a sword,)
(And the bombs that can't replace the stained glass window)
For which we should thank the good Lord, thank the good Lord)
(Thank you, thank you, thank you)
If we cherish our fire (if we cherish our fire)
It could possibly be (it could possibly be),
Bright enough to be seen, (bright enough to be seen)
Far across the sea (far across the sea),
When those other countries (when those other countries)
<See> what we have done (what we've done)
Maybe they'll help us get ready (get ready, get ready)
<for World War None.>
(World War None!)

Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams

When skies are cloudy and gray
They're only gray for a day
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away
Until that sunshine peeps through
There's only one thing to do
Just wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream all your troubles away
Your castles may tumble thats fate after all
Life's really funny that way
No use to grumble, smile as they fall
Weren't you king for a day?
Just remember that sunshine always follows the rain
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

Your castles may tumble thats fate after all
Life's really funny that way
But no need to grumble, smile as they fall
Weren't you king for a day
Just remember that sunshine always follows the rain
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream, dream your troubles away
